ION, aw -- remember that show Buffy??
Thanks for that Jesse. A nice reminder...and ohmygod...how can it be that long ago?
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Guilt shouldn't be part of the dental experience. The pain is enough.

Because books.

Also maybe a Xanax or Ativan for beforehand? The dentist might even be able to prescribe it. I think that would help tremendously.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I do think it is penance for all the times I didn't go.
I felt like this when one of my cavities needed a freaking root canal.
I am sorry that the benzocaine-whateverocaine gels didn't help.
I went to the dentist I did specifically because they were recommended for those scared or dentists or extra-sensitive because it'd been so long for me. It took two applications before my gums were numbed but the amazing hygienist really made sure I was comfortable before going in. I am never going elsewhere.

Our wings are not tired.
I haven't been to the dentist in too long. My cousin is a dentist and I love him as a person. But fear. Eeep.
ION, Liz Cheney should not be on my television so much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh crap, I have the dentist next week! I'd better start flossing...

Art Crawl!!!
I meant to go to the dentist before the end of June. . . but I didn't.
In annoying and stressful news: I've had my payments to the gas company set up to go out mid-month for years. YEARS. And suddenly, they've started going out 2 days before I get paid - instead of the day I get paid. Why?
I am scrwed this month but I hope I've fixed it up for the future. (I should set up a reminder that I need to check this, shouldn't I?)
Meanwhile, HBO disappeared - apparently, I forgot to send in my agreement. And it happens that with HBO I also get a new dvr. This means I have a tivo AND a dvr.
I can record twice as much. . . right? Or will I need a different tuner for that?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
For people that have dental issues, you might look for recs for an extra-gentle pediatric dentist and call to see if they will take adults also. Mac and I had our cleanings last Saturday and I missed the opportunity to have him see me get novacaine shots (impromptu cavity fillings for me). The cavities are actually gums receding on 2 of my upper teeth, I apparently brush too hard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How to Avoid Being Mauled by a Mountain Lion
Don't Freeze
Richard Coss, a UC Davis expert on predator-prey relationships, studied 185 cougar-human encounters and found that people who stood still avoided injury only 26 percent of the time. Coss explains that cougars may view your lack of flight as a sign of vulnerability. Of people who backed away, 39 percent survived unscathed. And of those who booked it, 50 percent escaped without a scratch.
